You can register your wines in a few easy steps.

3- Send your samples to the Sélections Mondiales des Vins competition

You can order and pay for the shipping of your samples directly on the site, in your shopping cart. In collaboration with Eurofret, which offers you very competitive exclusive shipping packages, your samples will be picked up door-to-door for the contest and will be delivered to our Montreal warehouse for validation and preparation for the contest. If your country does not appear in the drop-down list or if the quantity of samples offered does not correspond to your register, please write to us at [email protected].

4- Pay customs fees

Customs fees are mandatory for each producer who registers for our competition. To do this, you must add a customs fee to your shopping cart. Note that you must enter only one customs duty per producer. Whether you have one or more products, a single customs duty is sufficient per producer. We strongly recommend that you add this service to your registration and pay the customs fees at this time to avoid delays at customs. If your wines arrive at Canadian customs and you have not paid the customs, your samples will be held until you make payment.

EXCEPTION: Please note that producers whose wines entered in the competition are already on Canadian soil do not have to pay customs fees (Canadian producers, international producers whose products are in Canada (private import, agent in Canada).

5- Terms of payment
